Thank you, Muslim voters, for injecting principles and decency into British democracy
Far from being 'the enemy within', as seen by most UK media, Muslims who rejected the rotten two-party system in the local elections were voting patriotically and deserve praise
For many years, the mainstream media and political class have portrayed Muslims as an “enemy within” which refuses to engage with British democracy and cultivates a separatist agenda.
That line of attack has always been false, and last week was decisively proved wrong.
British Muslims made a massive intervention in the May elections. They abandoned Labour, voting instead for independent parties which support a ceasefire and have condemned Israeli atrocities in Gaza.
By doing so they sent out a message to Keir Starmer that his slavish support for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may cost his party dozens of seats in the looming general election.
